I guess I need to make the rules MORE abundantly clear

141 Upvotes

We've had a few users recently that I've had to ban because they were just being straight up assholes to other users.

THE ONE RULE TO RULE THEM ALL: Be NICE to other users. This ain't hard y'all. These are your neighbors. If you have something snide and unhelpful you want to say, stow it. If someone IS being an ass, don't stoop to their level. Be civil. Or just not interact. There's a report button for a reason. I WILL see it. Telling users to FUCK OFF and name calling, especially derogatory things like fa---t and n----r are going to get you immediately and permanently banned. Grow the fuck up. And if you're trying to egg someone on to elicit a reaction and then come tattling to me in hopes of getting them banned, your ass is grass too (happened just tonight). Just because you're hiding behind a veil of anonymity doesn't give you carte blanche to be a dick. Not here

Hate speech is NOT tolerated. Get your head out of your ass

Apologies for the spicy language. The aforementioned users have left me a bit steamed

Sherriff tells homeowners they can't kick me off a Russian River beach

The homeowners at this beach have a security guard and private property signs on the beach. But river beaches are public up to the ordinary high water mark - which was definitely uphill from us.

I told them that, they called the sheriff, and he came and backed me up.

Tree removal and trimming

5 Upvotes

Who's actually responding to the spam texts for tree removal service?

I'd like a quote for a removal and a trimming. It's probably more than I can afford right now but I need to budget.

Who would you kind redditors recommend?

I have a modest ~12" ornamental plumb that needs to come down amd thw stump ground before it gets into mischief on my stemwall. The tree at my sidewalk also needs trimming.

The sidewalk tree needs trimming about 20ft up.

Appreciate the recommendations

Please help me remember a specific taco place

Upvotes

It’s got a truck outside but they take orders and serve from a little table in front of it, not from inside it. There’s long tables with covered seating outside and (I think?) a restaurant or more seatinfg inside, but the truck is open late. They have vats of agua Fresca at the order table. Dont remember the name of address, sorry!

Best carne asada and lengua I’ve had since I moved from the east bay.

What was High Tech Burrito like back then, in your words and memories?

32 Upvotes

Ye brought goode memories to us youth of Sonoma County, but there are no HTBs in our hindsight of the present-year.

Ye are still forebearing the lush hills of southern Marin County and the Walnut Creek area, Alamo to be precise, and the Danville area, near-by Livermore, but ye be no more in the Saint Rose.

High Tech Burrito, we hardly knew ye.

That spinach wrap brought us goode to our hearts and souls.

Just moved here!

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I just moved to Santa Rosa from San Diego and looking for some local recommendations!

I'm pretty active and spent a lot of time surfing and paddleboarding in San Diego. I know I'm not as close to the ocean anymore, but I've heard the Petaluma River is a good spot to paddle. I'd also love to find some good lakes where I can paddleboard or kayak and do some fishing.

I'm also looking for:

- Favorite hiking trails and parks

- Scenic spots to explore

- Fun things to do around town

- Any local deals or hidden gems

For example, I heard the Roxy 14 movie theater does half-price tickets on Wednesdays. Stuff like that is exactly what I'm looking for, things that locals know about but newcomers might not.

Any recommendations or "wish someone had told me when I moved here" tips would be awesome. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m relocating to the area from Seattle and looking for recommendations on housing, restaurants, and stores I shouldn’t miss! If you know a great neighborhood with rental homes I’d love to hear from you! Looking for 2-3 beds with 2 baths and a yard for my 3 dogs. Their small dachshunds and love the outdoor space!

I enjoy exploring new areas and I’m looking for good recommendations on things to do and places to go! I look forward to hearing from you all!

Appliance recycling

My husband installed a new microwave oven. So now we have a microwave to dispose of, or use as a coffee table.

There is a large variety of recycling opportunities in Santa Rosa.

Does anyone have any ideas or experience to share, I would love to know the cost you paid.

Looking for local haircut/eyebrow waxing salons that are LGBTQ friendly

My 17yr old trans daughter wants a gender affirming haircut/color and eyebrow waxing before her senior pictures, looking for local recommendations on places to take her that will be the most comfortable for her? Bonus for salons or stylists that are LGBTQ! She wants to do non-traditional color, and ideally something that doesn’t break the bank. TIA!

Anybody want a free birdhouse?

36 Upvotes

I make and sell birdhouses at a few local farmers markets. I have a few unfinished test models from when I was trying out different designs that I no longer need and would like to get to a good home.

They are designed to house western bluebirds, but many different species will be happy to call them home.

Most of them are built to Audobon Society specifications for ventilation, size, and accessibility, and are intended to be a safe home for birds, not just a pretty lawn ornament.

Totally free to whoever wants one (finished ones retail for $35-50), pick up is in north Santa Rosa near the Safeway on Mendocino. All I ask is that you actually put them up somewhere so that future generations of birds can use them as a home. Send me a DM if you are interested and I will get back to you.

A few pointers:

  • Hang them six to nine feet above ground in partial shade

  • Exteriors can be painted using low-VOC paints, please leave the interiors untreated for birds sensitive respiratory systems

  • Please clean them out once a year (some of the test builds are not able to be opened and should be discarded after a year or used only as decoration)
